I managed to click Purple Sunbirds on Saturday and then on the same Bottle Brush Flowers I found it again. I guess I just got lucky. Let us see if I find it again on this weekend as well, these and the Indian Grey Hornbill as well. And to think of it that I had…

Another Green Bee Eating Bird
Another one of the backyard birds, a Green Bee Eating Bird this time. Liked the way I could get the red of the eyes. Never managed to see it before.
As the Sun Sets
The bird was sitting against the sun and let me take two pictures before it flew away. I think it is a purple sunbird but somehow looks bigger sitting against the sun. It then went on to sit on the bottle brush flowers again. And kept on showing its beautiful neck. But those pictures are…
Indian Grey Hornbill
A friend on Facebook asked today but where do you get to click birds in Delhi/Gurgaon. I think if we look around we can find pictures in Delhi/Gurgaon quite easily. I do not live in high rise areas and my neighborhood has trees as well. So this Indian Grey Horbill has been clicked on my…
Lazy Sunday Photo- Purple Sunbird on Bottle Brush Flowers
Yesterday was a good day. As soon as I started on my bird round I saw a lot of parrots making a huge racket. But they were really far away and I had no way to get closer to them. Then after a while, when I reached my bird lane, I saw this purple sunbird…
I am Trying to Post Daily in 2011
I got to hear about the WP Daily Post a little late. As I anyway post daily, it makes sense to join the community. So I am going to use the postaday2011. Let us see how it goes. The picture above has been taken from the passenger seat of the Skoda Yeti, didn’t realize the effect…
A Red Rose
If I have to look for file pictures of skies I look into the Spiti folder, for flowers I go to the Naldehra folder. But look at the flower again. It is full of rain drops and all I managed to click was this far away shot with hardly any emphasis on the strongest point…
Sky Watch Friday- There are No Skies Like Spiti Skies
These days the sky in the city has been just one color mostly, Grey. And for the whole week I had been fretting what am I going to post for skywatch! But then I know I still have a few pictures in store from my Spiti trip in 2007. I wish I would go there…
It is all in the Eyes
This Myna had everything going for it, it had a funky hairstyle, a great eye makeup but had no sense of lighting. Look where it decided to pose! Went to the shades, so there are shadows in the picture. However much I pleaded, it did not yield. I still like Dhaba birds as my models, they are…
The Making of the Skoda Yeti Nat Geo Gir Video
If someone had told me before the Gir trip that one day I would appear alongside a SUV in a national park and the video would be made by the National Geographic and showed on the television, I would have laughed my head off. Well, can’t do that anymore! As they say life is full of surprises. When…
